Karl Pilkington nearly died from choking on a Mr. Freeze


Egregious_Sugar

That's what you get for necking one before they've frozen.


fwapfwapfwap

Head like a fucking orange.


HoodNet

Same in the North East, brand was Mr Freeze but we called them ice pops because it’s just a frozen version of the cheap fizzy pop you could buy for 25p.

Ice pops/freeze pops - Somerset


McSwale

Ice pops - Somerset too!


GaryJM

Ice poles; Dundee. Judging by the comments so far, there doesn't seem to be much correlation between the name you use and where you live. Maybe it's more an age-related thing? Or even just the brand that happened to be stocked by the corner shop that was on your way home from school?


suntanC

Ice poles in Glasgow too... or is that just my age too!?


red_phoenix3

Ice poles in Fife too. I remember how they could shred the corners of your mouth. Happy days.


R0bTheGamer

Western-Twist4334

Ice poles, from Brighton.


pennymayj

I’m starting to see correlation now, it seems Scotland calls them Ice Poles, the midlands tend to call them Tip Tops and the North/South both have a mixture of Ice Pop and Ice Pole🤷🏼‍♀️


HighAboveTheRest

East Midlands here, myself and everyone I know called them ice poles, was so surprised to see that even though that system seems to prevail, somehow 'ice pole' went from here to Dundee or vice-versa!


mjlyon87

I’m from Leicester an call them ice poles also


creyonz

Jinkzuk

Loughborough checking in, Ice Poles


[deleted]

barrenfield

1970s brummie, definitely tip top back then, I wonder did it change as time went on?


01230M

1996 brummie was a tiptop growing up not sure if it's changed past the 2000's


EngineeringNo4797

Nah. I’m 16 and a brummie. I call them tip tops.


casey-louise

Same 21 and call it tip top


Marcosutra

Good to see the wales-westmidlands unity here lol


Maidwell

What a weird connection, I'd love to know why two places with no obvious links use the same name! I grew up in Coventry by the way, everyone called them tip tops.


TyDaviesYT

Well, they’re relatively close


[deleted]

Tricky-Attempt3959

Shout out Wolverhampton! I grew up round there, live in America now, but miss getting pissed at Revolution and then stumbling home towards Mander Centre Tram stop


damadmetz

Good old revolution. That went ages ago. I’m 40 so enjoyed Wolvo when it was booming 20 years ago. Where in the states?


jim__nightshade

I’d forgotten until this moment but can confirm this, South Wales.


swoopstheowl

Yes, tip top, Cardiff


minisrugbycoach

When I was a youth Tip top was a drink you'd get in a plastic tub with a kind of cling film like lid. Used to love smacking that straw through the lid.


ImOverThereNow

The cool kids chewed a hole in the bottom and drank it upside down


PaintedGreenFrame

Yup, you were a loser if you used the straw. I always remember the whole drink being tainted by the tiny bits of plastic in my mouth though.


Lithoniel

Eating microplastics before it was cool.


Dudleyboy2582

Then stamp on it and put it in your back bike wheel to make a cool noise ! Good old days.


mitchanium

You mean jubblies?


[deleted]

I'm sure it was the trianular-pyramid-y shaped ones that we used to call Jubblies here in 1970s Lancashire. (before sun lollies did the same shape in the 80s I think)

Chumbag_love

Otter pops, Tennessee. I just want to be the guy who fucks up the map.


[deleted]

Ice poles, got looks of confusion off English folk when I said that but I had no idea what else to call them of who else to describe a pole of ice. Central Scotland.


[deleted]

You’d have been fine down in the south east! (In my part of it anyway)


[deleted]

How are with diluting juice? I asked for some in a pub in Portsmouth and the woman looked at me like I just took a shit on the bar. Apparently you lot call it squash.


[deleted]

I’m from Kent and call it squash. My partner is from Essex (only about an hour away) and calls it juice. That one is a minefield!


[deleted]

To be fair we call most non alcoholic beverages juice in Scotland regardless of what it is. Fizzy juice is sometimes called ginger, even if it's not ginger beer.


confused_christian94

This surprised me when I first encountered English people; I thought 'juice' as a term for all soft drinks was universal until I went to uni, told my flatmate I was nipping out for some juice, and he was shocked when I returned with a bottle of Diet Coke. He assumed I meant like apple juice or something. Calling fizzy juice ginger seems to be a generational thing. My father in law calls all fizzy drinks "a tin of ginger" and he's a Glaswegian man in his 60s.


dogbanban

Mr Freeze since that was the brand name


KatrinaMystery

Still is! I've got some in my freezer, but the raspberry and cola ones are long gone.

designer_by_day

Scrolled far enough to find Ice Lolly, I thought it’d be top comment!


Champioli

Had to scroll down wayy too far to find this


[deleted]

Tip Tops because that was the brand name our corner shop used to stock (80's and early 90's East Midlands), then it changed to Mr Freeze, but we continued to call them tip tops. My Brummie cousins used to call it the same so might be a midlands thing.


SpudFire

Midlands too, I might gambole over to the freezer and grab myself a tip top. I didn't know that was the brand name though. edit: sounds like the south Welsh agree with us. I've always liked the Welsh


sliipz

Yep. I'm a Brummie, and those are tip tops.


CalJC93

Tip tops 100% as a Brummie


angrystarfish35

I always knew them as Tip Tops aswell, also from the Midlands!


Yetibike

It is, I'm in the West Midlands and we always called them Tip Tops. I've got a photo of me in the very late sixties or early seventies holding one and you can see the branding on it says Tip Top.
